I love offset. Posts: 8,729 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	I finally have a 16v shifter. Trying to take it apart now to put my bronze bushings in. How do you get this part out from the housing? Are there circlips to remove from the end or do you remove the white plastic cap thing? Any help appreciated

fat tits Posts: 9,670 Group: Members Member #110 Joined: December 18, 2005	that bolt is for the outer assembly, you have already removed the gear leaver from the paddel housing (part5) you need to remove bolts 56 from 53, pin 47 has two circlips in which will break easy if not careful! main rod will pull through. the two circlips on pin 26 also need removing (part 32) looking down inside part 8 there will be a circlip, i broke this by accident which released the spring allowing part 11 out, new circlips from MB are about 20p each.......just in case lubricate it all on reasembly Edited by cossie connoisseur, Tue Mar 24, 2009 4:32 pm.

Ill have another look tonight with the diagram to hand that bolt should be covered by a plastic covering which should appear yellowed. the plastic covering iirc should pop out or slide out of the black plastic shifter housing

Posts: 8,729 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: November 2, 2005	Just as Nick described, though I only had to remove one circlip on each bar, and I didnt break the other one either Jebus the standard rubber bits are crappy.. Worn away to nothingness. Will press out the old ring and in with the bronze tomorrow in work Thanks all Edited by dave_irl, Tue Mar 24, 2009 7:31 pm.

fat tits Posts: 9,670 Group: Members Member #110 Joined: December 18, 2005	i striped every component down, tbh dave when i did it i found worn parts and replaced accordingly. the hard part is getting it to align but that was until i had the paddels in tha correct position and the o rings held in place with a screwdriver then it all went together fine. the trick is to aply grease that hold things together and just take your time
